Fallout new vegas

I find it to perform worse than the first FO3 on my PC. I think they need to optimize the code for it. So far it is fun though. I am maybe an hour and a half in.

I don't like how books/magazines only give you a temp skill boost. Like after minutes you just magically forget what you learned? I like the old way better where books were more rare but permanent skill increases.

Also, they took out some of my favorite perks. I used to always get gifted and bloody mess, both seem to be missing.

I have played and beat every fallout game that has ever existed. 1 and 2 are still the best so far as content goes. They had the best items, perks, and the most freedom. You could shoot children in the groin in the original games. Now that all video games must be rated, that is gone. Back in the good old days when gaming was like the wild west with no regulation. Now everything has this parental warning crap on it.

The game itself is fun, and I liked Fallout 3, but I don't think 3 ever really touched how awesome 1 and 2 were. Going back and playing the originals is tough though, because the technology behind them is so dated and it shows. Plus not too many games these days are turn based.

I did like Fallout Tactics though.

+1 on the performance thing, it seems to have moments of low fps on my system, which even when I had my 8600GT and E6750, I didn't get on FO3.

The books and magazines, I completely agree. I've sort of cheated the system though. Knowing how much they would change your stats in FO3, each time I get one I use the console to up my stats that amount

And as for freedom, I know you shouldn't really have to, but wait for mods to begin pouring out, someone will make a mod where you can kill children too, like you could in FO3 with the right mods

I am loving it so far. FO3 ran out of content for me, and this is very near the same as FO3, with a few minor differences, so is great :D
 
There's a dll fix for the framerate, bloody mess is in there(you have to level up though). The skill books are a permanent +3 but you need to find stuff like big book of science
 
Well there are 2 types of books. 1 perma book and temp magazines. I have found both and verified this information.
I however hate the gun selections....I am a murder half mile away type of player and have not found a reliable sniper rifle (lvl 7).

Also is it just me or is it retarded that you can kill the convicts at the NCR prison and get Good Karma but get Bad Karma taking their crap?

just use the console to get one.

and yes, that is pretty damn stupid. I find it stupid too that you can kill the caesar people and their dogs and not get bad rep with them :confused:
 
Gonna be a lot of patches to fix this mess :P BTW I don't like to cheat in games. Prefer to just find one lol.

I should point out I'm not very far in, but when you first meet them proper and they've burned that town down, I was getting attacked by some when I left, and their dogs, and didn't lose anything with them or gain anything with the others when I killed them all

I dunno, I killed them all too, but I'm also accepted with the NCR
 
For once I am up to date with games yay.
Only even played Fallout 3 on my Bros Ps3 for about 5-10 minutes, just walking about and shooting stuff, so this is all new to me.

I really like the intro stuff, how the guy asks you questions and the final thing was actually the stuff I like. Except sometimes I like to be the guy who goes infront and kills and sometimes I like to sneak, so it was a tough one lol.

I didn't know about karma so I stole something from a shop, then accidentally hit e and stole a gun and the gun owner started shooting me so I legged it but he followed and so did a couple others and had to kill half the town :o. Oh well their fault.

Good game though.
 
Well I play on hardmode + hard setting so upfront business is not good for ammo supplies as more HP to take them down. However the challenge is well worth it. Stealth kills = 50% of their health right off the bat if not a instant kill. 1 bullet goes a long way ^_^
 
I have some perk or skill where if your hidden and attack them in VATS, it's an insta kill.

If their head doesn't get blown clean off that is :D
 
Its not a Perk Linkin its a sneak attack. If your good I can usually kill 2 enemies before getting caution warning with a Cowboy Repeater. Usually it takes down all enemies ^-^ Still trying to get a sniper rifle....suppose to be a seller around New Vegas so with luck ~_~
 
I sent them into outer space.

Also, theres a really good weapons dealer near the east gate to freeside, called gun runners. they sell fully repaired guns. Sniper rifles, armour and all.

I have a .44 magnum, and i found a scope mod for it. god damn it's powerful. Also got power armour, and found some brotherhood of steel folk to train me how to use it.
